Jacqueline, who begins the last leg of Race 3 in Abu Dhabi from Tuesday, will be seen exhibiting MMA techniques involving a lot of kicks and punches. She has been prepping for 2 hours daily to master her action moves. While the actress has earlier been part of action flicks, Jacqueline Fernandez never performed hand to hand combat, her sequences always included weapons. It would be for the first time that the actress will be seen doing bare hand action. Jacqueline's fitness trainer Kuldeep Sashi shared details on the action sequences performed by the actress in an interaction with a leading daily, "Jacqueline is someone who has an athletic body type, so she does not require any special regime to tone up herself. However, as a requirement to her character, she is undergoing extensive MMA training, focusing towards kicking and punching," Kuldeep told Hindustan Times.

Performing action with the master of the genre Salman Khan itself is a first for Jacqueline Fernandez. The actress is very excited to perform hardcore stunts along with Salman Khan. Talking about the same, Kuldeep Sashi said, "Salman is seen as an ultimate Action star with his larger than life stunts. For Jacqueline, he is only a motivation that has her working harder. She is excited to be a part of an action film with him."

Jackie, who is very particular about her diet, has made some changes there too. “There has been a lot of additions to Jacqueline’s diet. She is consuming more calories these days owing to the extensive action sequences she has to deliver onscreen,” Kuldeep told HT.

Race 3 proves to be Jacqueline's second outing with Salman Khan, after their 2014 Blockbuster Kick, the actress who has been a part of the second installment of the Race franchise, will be seen delivering never seen before action onscreen.
